Hilary Duff is seen here leaving the Neil George Hair Salon in Beverly Hills after having her pretty blonde locks maintained to perfection. It looks like Hilary has darkened her base color just a smidge and added some very pretty light highlights around the face. She’s also had some deeper layers cut, and had some clean up on her bangs for a very soft, layered look that looks great on her. This color I think is one of my favorites on Hilary, and combined with the cut, it looks even better. Face framing layers are a cut that will simply never go out of style, just ask Kate Hudson and Goldie Hawn. Today’s contemporary layered cuts are done with a little more depth and chunkier layers so that you can spend less time maintaining them. For a look like this, some pomade and a flat iron are really all you need. But step out of the box a bit and use your flat iron for curling instead of just straightening. You can use your flat iron to turn your ends under just like Hilary, and here you have a look that is still sleek and straight, but with just enough softness and movement around the face.
